JR Fitness & Conditioning

I’m taking on the challenge of completing a full marathon distance in a wheelchair, not just as a personal test, but to make a real difference. Through my work with a Community Interest Company, I see first-hand the barriers people with disabilities and long-term health conditions face when trying to access physical activity. Too often, opportunities are limited, environments aren’t inclusive, and people are left behind.

This challenge is about changing that. Every push of the wheel represents someone who deserves the chance to move, improve their health, and feel part of a community. The funds raised will go directly towards creating accessible sessions, specialist equipment, and inclusive programmes that empower people of all abilities to be active.

Physical activity isn’t just about fitness, it’s about confidence, independence, mental wellbeing, and connection. By supporting this fundraiser, you’re helping break down barriers and build opportunities for people who need them most.

I’m pushing through the miles so others can push past their limits too.

This amazing and inspirational 65 year old Jean is attempting to run a half marathon in memory of the passing of her lifelong best friend Kathryn Ainger on Thursday 27th May 2021

In February 2019 made some changes to her lifestyle and lost an incredible 24kg (3.5 stone)

A true inspiration that she is, she inspired her lifelong best friend Kathryn to also make some healthy lifestyle changes as her weight had taken a turn for the worse to a point she became house bound and near immobile weighing 150kg (23 stone).I started to help Kathryn in October 2019 and she started to lose weight. Her motivation rocketed as we spoke of plans to get up and walking so that by the time spring came around (April 2020) we could be walking/exercising in the park, a million miles away from what she thought she could achieve months prior.

In the new year of 2020, Kathryn became unwell and suddenly passed away. During the short time I knew Kathryn, she came across as the life and soul of the party, witty and caring.

Kathryn made donations to the Donkey Sanctuary which was also in her final wishes at her funeral.

Jean kept smiling and carried on but turning 65 years of age, after losing an impressive 24kg, she wasn’t satisfied and needed a new challenge. With her new found love of running we decided it would be fitting to run a half marathon in Kathryn’s memory. What makes Thursday 26th May even more special, is it would be Jean’s late mother’s birthday.

If you’d like to make a small donation, it would mean the world to us

HOW TO PLAN YOUR TRAINING SERIES PART 6 - TAKEAWAY MESSAGE

Train smart. Your body is an amazing and unique thing. You should always be looking to challenge and improve and to do so, you need a plan - REMEMBER: Fail to plan, plan to fail.

It won't be perfect.......but it will allow you to:

1. Set targets
2. Record progress
3. Review and make amendments
4. Dictate if your being successful

So many times, conversations with gym goers about progress towards their goal and how they train to achieve it and 90% of them either a) have no structured goal to work towards (except getting massive) or/and b) wing their workout with no structure or plan.

They attend 5-6 days per week for hours on end, sometimes even twice a day with no change in physical appearance, strength or fitness.

How you train matters and makes the difference between achieving and not achieving results.

PROTEIN MARKETING, DON’T GET SUCKED IN

Think gym, think protein. The supplement industry has an estimated worth of £15 billion in the UK, £66 million of which coming from protein products alone.

So why are we so protein driven?
They’re so many studies that show us that protein is an important component to dietary health especially amongst exercise and fitness, adding that with 50% of the overall general population (64% aged 18-24) who exercise for 30 minutes or more, at least once a week making supplements a staple part of everyday diet.
The number of food and drink products launched in the UK with a high protein claim has risen 498%. You can't walk down the aisle in the supermarket without seeing the term high protein slapped across products that you least expected.

DON’T BE FOOLED!!

I’m not telling you to start comparing every item that claims to be high in protein, however for what it's worth, you might save some money by sticking to the non high protein labeled product for a few grams difference in protein. Some products are specifically manufactured for the fitness industry protein market such as protein bars like Snickers where there is a huge difference.
When researching the topic a shocking finding was made between the weetabix original and weetabix protein. The weetabix original protein content per 100g was 7g less than the protein version, however the figures become significantly increased on the protein version when comparing the protein version label with added milk whereas the original label didn’t show the protein content with milk, thus taking into account the protein content with the added milk to make it more attractive for protein consumers.

If you do read the labels, look at the whole picture before chasing the protein, just because it says ‘Protein’ on the front.
Other things to look out for include: Salt, Sugar and order of ingredients.

*To claim a food as ‘high in protein’ or the same meaning, the product must provide at least 20% of the energy value in protein e.g. 100g of cheese can be claimed to be high in protein if it contains 20g or more protein.
